Kimble Chase KimCote coated glassware

Kimble Chase KimCote coated glassware protects users while improving laboratory productivity. The glassware coating adds a measure of safety to the glassware user.

KimCote is an ultra-clear plastic coating that is applied to the exterior of laboratory glassware in order to resist breakage and contain leakage. The coating provides an important additional level of protection against the risk of exposure to harmful biologics, toxic materials, pressurised fluids and many common laboratory chemicals, including solvents and acids. KimCote also protects against injury from shattered glass.

A durable, proprietary coating provides a non-slip surface texture that improves the ability to grip KimCote glassware whether wet or dry, further minimising the chance of handling mishaps and exposure.

The coating is available on many traditional glassware products, including bottles, cylinders, flasks, funnels, tissue grinders and tubes. Application of the coating to other glassware is available on request. All KimCote glassware is designed to withstand steam autoclave temperatures up to 120°C and freezing temperature to -20°C. KimCote is safe for dishwashers and microwaves and the coated surface accommodates labelling and marking.
